    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition and optionally the Zowe CLI

    The z/OS Connect EE REST Admin API and Zowe CLI plugin already have the ability to update a specific named service or API

    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS4SVW_3.0.0/administering/update_api.html
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS4SVW_3.0.0/administering/update_service.html

    Additionally see this project on Github for more information about the Zowe CLI plugin for z/OS Connect EE:
